METROID IS OWNED BY NINTENDO

[@Dragynn5]

The movements are a little stiff and mechanical, but the models and lighting are absolutely gorgeous!

[@JkMaNz]

The fans do what Nintendont

[@drg617]

Prime remake looks very cooll and we waiting for Prime 4.

[@Corvus__]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@NL-X]

what have Nintendidn't? literally Metroid is on it's gold age once more lmao

[@Corvus__]

@@NL-X It's in regard to fangames, mods and fanimations. Speaking of which, I'm fairly certain that fangames like 2d Prime came long before official Nintendo releases like Samus returns and Dread. The fan did 2d free aim in Metroid first!

[@tanook4751]

Chozo Language and Mothra noises were awesome touches

[@takuame7]

No idea why this popped up on my feed, but it was fun to watch! Not the smoothest animation, but I loved it. Keep going! I can just see/feel the passion in this short film.

[@Superfirefox1996]

This is such an awesome version of Zero Mission's story! The lighting and sound effects were excellent! I especially loved Mother Brain and Samus's dialogue exchange in Chozo, which was just so cool. My favorite parts were the recreated shots from the games themselves. I loved that you not only included scenes from Zero Mission, but also from Samus Returns' prologue! The attention to detail really made the whole thing pop!

[@Kassil]

This is amazing man!!! Congrats on such a great quality result. It's such a honor to be a part of this, thanks for the consideration!

[@fucknchingontv]

Thank you too! All of your arrangements are great

[@noababoa7243]

Amazing work! I can tell this took a LOT of time. The passion you poured into this really shows. I NEED more Metroid fan animations like this!

Dude who made your profile picture art??

Amazing job! this is beautiful! We got to see so many abilities. Ice Beam, Plasma Beam, Power Bombs, Super Missiles, Speed Booster, and Shinespark!

[@QUADRAXIS666]

7:05 "the self destruct sequence has been activated" unmistakable that audio was taken from the original Resident Evil 2 & pitched down. Nice

Давно за тобой слежу, и признаться честно ты не теряешь планку, твои видео очень разнообразны

[@uffevonlauterbach]

It could use some polishing up, but man, this was really good!😮

[@Dirtynapkin]

I like the the ship they used in this video, the "other" ship uses rocket boosters to hover as opposed to this one that uses some kind of anti-gravity tech. Much better future tech than using rockets boosters from the 50's.

[@mikeburkhart8336]

Okay it's based on Zero Mission...I was going to ask how could Samus return to Zebes when it was blown to pieces after Super Metroid. Nice visuals in this! Good job!

[@ianoliver2224]

I really love that Samus and Mother Brain speak the Chozo language to each other. And I love that the Metroids make Mothra noises like the Baby Metroid does in Super Metroid.

[@KingEeeeeee]

This is awesome and hella underrated. This earned you a sub

[@RetroNerdyGamer]

This was really cool but the only criticisms I have is that there was a bit of liberty taken with the ship/suit considering ZM has her in the original suit and a way different ship from the rest of the series and this ties into my second point. If this was based on ZM couldn't it have ended with the ship being shot down and maybe another movie for the 2nd part of ZM? That way original suit/ship could be used and keep it faithful to ZM because right now this is more faithful to NEStroid. Either way I enjoyed it, but would have liked to see Zero Suit Samus since that's part of ZM

[@spz58624]

was that a mothra metroid if not thats all i hear

[@elliotgandersen]

That’s what I’m thinking as well. Wait was that Mothra?

[@fucknchingontv]

Yes it is!

[@robstefani9853]

Funny considering Draygon from Super Metroid uses Anguirus' roar!

[@ubx9563]

Mothroids.

[@Thechozochampion]

I love this and I haven't even watched it

[@danielrecalde7443]

I love this but I couldn't help but think of how she's supposed to have a different ship, the power suit (not the varia suit) at the beginning, and she's not supposed to go back where she came from after mother brain dies, she's supposed to go up a long shaft behind mother brain (also technically shouldn't have power bombs in this area either). Otherwise, great job. Imagining a classic 2d game in 3d is amazing.

[@ChrisMMaster0]

I think the powerbombs were a reference of how you can kill metroids with them in Super Metroid

[@Emy_and_games]

Paso de hablar español a hablar inglés, q brutal

[@olivier4916]

Realy nice I love the speed booster

[@FILMBIONICX]

[@cliftonholmes5208]

Is everyone as excited as I'm to see this?I'm praying some big budget company take notice & realize how much money they could make with a cgi movie.🙏

[@alexrodrigueztorres7147]

Nice, hasta regresaste el arte conceptual de la batalla final del zero mission.

[@Thebluedud]

I'd written a long comment hoping to offer some feedback and the KZbin App ate it when I went back to review some clips. Sorry if this comes across as highly critical. I had a great time watching this, I just don't feel like rewriting all those paragraphs. In short, I think you had some fantastic atmospheric moments. The arrival in Tourian was easily my favorite part. The focus on sound effects with the music pushed to the background combined with the eerie lighting created a really suspenseful feeling of wondering what was lying in wait that I thought was super cool. My biggest criticism would probably be the Rinka turrets. There's so few and they move so slowly, I never felt threatened by them at all. They kind of give a sense that they might just bounce off even if they did land a hit. Overall, though, this was a fun watch!

[@davidmedinacortez8258]

Resube el memestyle, ese video era oro.

[@rmat9023]

this looks like the space world or e3 from like 2001 for nintendo. lol

[@ImJCyo]

She moves like Robocop. But I love to see things like this.

[@TachyBunker]

So cool! And the music :D

[@KnightedSilverWolf]

Ridley is the space pirate commander. kraid is just a big goofy dinosaur she doesnt have a speed booster? it doesnt take 20 missiles to destroy a object. wtf has english but also some other language too? wtf oh she does have speed booster but it just wasnt used earlier?

[@Illeea]

This was really cool thanks for making it. The only thing i couldnt get out of my head was the fact the ship model is based on the samus returns/super metroid ship rather than zero missions ship.

[@allantasgin7304]

wonderful keep going !

[@lites73]

Great short, but I have one question: Why is samus using her super metroid ship? She should be using the one from zero mission

[@alextorres-sm4yu]

It's called artistic freedom :p

[@awshnap]

Absolutely LOVE the art style man. I’d watch an entire Metroid movie with this art. Phenomenal stuff.

[@TheOfficialDJSuperRaveman]

Wow thank you for using my Orchestra Remix of the escape theme from Metroid 1 that was then used in this as the Escape theme I am very shocked that I was not mentioned in the credits. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoLblY2qe9-NrLcsi=ioamZ-Cgg1LceZxW

[@tailedgates9]

Who knew Mother Brain had such a beautiful voice. Lol This was very well done. ^_^

[@dominaxx]

Not to be that guy but the original mission has Samus arrive in the regular power suit, she doesn't upgrade to the Varia Suit until later in the mission. Aside from that one thing you have done an outstanding job, keep up the great work, you're amazing.

[@sonicANDtailsfan157k]

She also had a different ship and armor design at that point

[@alextorres-sm4yu]

Yup I know man, it was a creative decision to use the varia the whole short, it's not a video game it's a minimovie, I made the suit but didn't use it in the end

[@dominaxx]

@@alextorres-sm4yu yeah, the varia suit is more iconic in the pop culture sphere.

[@IIARROWS]

The intro screen is all messed up, it makes no sense. First of all, the second characters (and subsequent) should be flipped, as the space is a diagonal, in the same way you split the second and third word. The first character on a line should always point down. The characters pointing up in the ZDR writing system should be flipped, not rotated 180° (which basically means your characters are flipped horizontally). This is most the case, but not always. Somehow some glyphs pointing down are flipped horizontally too. The transliteration here account for this unwanted horizontal flips when possible. The first line says "A fyl mbi". You used a rotated Y instead of an I, and an I instead of a Y (which by pure chance of the symbol being symmetrical, it looks correct). Your name is "Dseraod Ostnsjel"? On the second text screen you repeat the mistake of flipping the words, this time on the third for the first line, and the second line the second and last word. The first character of both lines is pointing up instead of down. The first line says "Bsseacor chana terd by". The second line says "Ntn eo d on tlid" The title is "Mitroed reter ot n?uies" (the fourth character from the last word is unclear, but it seems like an I, the second doesn't look like anything) "Peae teznbls" is an anagram (the P seems incorrect though, the middle stem should not be interrupted as it looks from the video). However, we have the word "uliris" for "planet" in Chozo. I don't have the time to analyse the dialog, but in any way the vocabulary we have is limited, so there is little point as you probably had to invent some. But it seems correct.

[@ChannalWatcher]

Samus puts Boba Fett to shame

[@loringbush1455]

Omg! Wow! This is totally awesome and puts zero mission in a whole new direction for fan's of the video game! I would like to see a Metroid fusion short movie in the future!

[@CyberWYXTube]

Very good but why so much chromatic aberration

[@yuriridley8144]

[@SpartanManch]

I love how metallic and shiney her suit was, as well as how heavy and agile she was.

[@pheonixgaming7800]

Hold up if this is tied to zero mission there's a major issue with the ending. As her ship would get shot down by the space pitates and samus would be forced to go to chozodia to gain the gravity suit,and the other upgrades you can get but are locked out until she proves herself during the challenge in one of the chozo ruins. By ridleys giant spaceship.

[@hisholinesskirby9358]

Hope to see one for Super Metroid

[@dis_inferno9173]

It's very funny. But SFX are bad, action is bad and overall movie is rather just retelling of Metroid 1 without any story to it.

[@mightypancake2211]

It does retell the Metroid 1 story, in a broad over view without the need of having to play the game, since all power ups are sort of gained off screen. While giving a run down of what happens in the tourian sector. and the Escape with a silly speed booster ^^.

I mean, it's a 10 minute short film. Can't really do much with 10 minutes. Plus, the sound effects aren't really that bad. They all fit well enough, and for what this is (mostly action oriented with the final battle), not really much can be done.

Wow, hard work, terrible results. I cringed almost the entire time. Could have done a hell of a lot more with a lot less.
